Immortal Technique, Mela Machinko - Natural Beauty lyrics

Their lies can't fade your beauty
You gotta know who you are
Stay strong and always remember
The truth in your heart
Don't forget there are those who
Benefit from your scars
And who deny what's natural

They corrupted the priceless African
Image of Isis replaced with a lifeless
Anorexic white bitch
The fashion industry got 'em in a funny spot
Self hatred leakin' our their mouth
Like a money shot
Movie-star Hollywood Babylon fantasy
Bunch of peacock bitches in a cocaine canopy
And if you're healthy they make
You think you're a manatee
Look how they invented
This Eurocentric insanity
Got your brains washed to the
Point you're bleachin' your skin
Blind to the truth
And can't see the beauty within
'Cause ain't nothin' wrong with exercise
And tightenin' your thighs but
There's somethin' wrong
With contacts that lighten your eyes
We're goin' backwards from hip
Hop in the park
To the experiments by Dr kenneth Clark
So, after the cannabis
I'ma have to handle this
Release the pressure on her and
Open her like an amethyst
Their lies can't fade your beauty
You gotta know who you are
Stay strong and always remember
The truth in your heart
Don't forget there are those who
Benefit from your scars
And who deny what's natural

The business of beauty isn't a natural model
It's built to be the opposite
Of the cultures we topple
These magazines got you caught in a hustle
'cause when you starve yourself your body
Doesn't burn fat, it burn muscles
And men who don't even like
Women control the business
That's why the women look like men
And the men like bitches
I'll break it down as God as my witness
Remember Sambo caricatured characteristics?
Now who got the collagen
Under their lipstick?
Implanted Arabic hips, surgical sickness
A bipolar society that claims to be righteous
Sprayed paint an artifical melanin
Tryin' to be like us
Livin' in a pathetic epidemic
Schizofrenics buyin' a syntetic
Body with credit's you mad that I said it
But you know that I'm right
Find the natural beauty and get
You some natural love tonight
Their lies can't fade your beauty
You gotta know who you are
Stay strong and always remember
The truth in your heart
Don't forget there are those who
Benefit from your scars
And who deny what's natural
